Police said the child was revived by doctors and paramedics after initially being pronounced dead. She was treated at Highlands Hospital, then flown to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, where she died in the early afternoon.

"Myah's a wonderful child. All of Angie's kids are so intelligent, so intelligent, and little Myah, she was just the happiest child. She was very, very smart. A very happy baby. All of them are," said aunt Elda Worley.

The woman's 5-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son were also in the car at the time of the crash, but both of those children are OK, police said.

"She would always come out when we had parties in the yard, cookouts and stuff. She'd come over with her kids. She was constantly with her kids, watching her kids. She was a good mother. Nice girl, too," said Thomas' former neighbor, Mike Richter. "She liked to come outside and play with her kids. They were outside all the time.

"She would come out and sit in the yard. I have all kinds of toys out, and they used to come over and play with them. Damn. It's a shame. It's a tragedy."
